Exporting baked goods to US & South Korea

This week I have two orders for Valentines cookies, one from the US and one from South Korea.

I'm aware that there are customs restrictions/documentation requirements for both countries but am having problems finding someone who can help. So far this morning I've spoken to my local Chamber, UKti, the FSA and the FCO. Help!

I am a member of the UKTI USA team here in New York. I recommend that you look at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website www.fda.gov . On this website you can find out about all the paperwork you would need to fill out as well as how to register your food facility (something that is required by the new Food Safety Modernization Act).

Pleae let us know if you have any other questions regarding the US market.

I work in UKTI based in Seoul, and am writing on behalf of my colleague, Yoonah Lee who is in charge of Food and Drink sector in the market. As far as I know, the Korea Food & Drug Association (www.kfda.go.kr/eng/index.do) has all the related information regarding your questions. Also there are companies who are specialised in F&D importing procedure including the food security test, etc. For more details, please contact my colleague Yoonah Lee at yoonah.lee@fco.gov.uk
